New Computer, Pt. 2

And this is one of my first acts on the new computer! :)

New Computer

We just got a new computer, so this is my last post on this one--indeed, my last act on this one, aside from turning it off--before it's moved to the old folks' home (aka the basement). Farewell, computer. You have served us well.

Nineteen

Nineteen years ago today, my parents got married, on March 19. Nineteen months later, I was born on October 19. And Star Wars Episodes I and III came out on May 19.

Nineteen also happens to be the smallest Higgs prime for squares and cubes that has an index among Higgs primes that is less than its index among primes overall (because 17 is not a Higgs prime). Wait, what??

SATs

I just finished taking the SATs around 2:15 today. Well, that was fun. I must say, the best question was certainly--

Wait. I guess I'm not allowed to say that. Too bad, it was a pretty awesome question. :)

And then there was this other really puzzling one where--

Never mind. Move along.

I was just watching Episode IV last night. And R2 is certainly awesome. And I have a feeling he basically plans everything that happens. (All right, not everything, but a lot--finding Luke, reuniting him with Obi-Wan, etc....) He is, after all, just about the only guy who has a clue, at least once Obi-Wan "becomes one with the Force" and all. He saw everything. Funny how he's the guy we can't understand, and he knows everything.

Worms is a great game.
